Courasant swirled with the dark side. After talking to Chancellor Palpitine Anakin new for sure that he was the sith lord the jedi had been looking for. He saw the yellow flicker in his eyes. He was meditating on what to do next. Palpitine had told him that he could save his beloved. Anakin was not sure to believe him or the jedi. Anakin had never found it easy to meditate. But he was begging the force to tell him something. And in a moment he was swept away with a vision. He saw the outcome of taking sides with Palpitine. All but two jedi would die at his hand. Flames burning, eventually swallowing him alive. Painfully stuck in a walking iron lung. He would never see his children grow up, and his Padme' would still die in child birth. His eyes sprung open has he gasped for air. The pain was all to real. He could feel the fire he was drowning in. But he needed to know what would happen if he went to the Jedi. He begged the force to show him the other outcome. In the next vision he saw that jedi had managed to survive. Palpitine had run off before the jedi could arrest him. There would still be war, as the rival of the republic was up against a great foe. His angel would die in childbirth but he would see his children be born, and they would grow up happy. Anakin opened his eyes. Tears streaming down his face. He could not save his wife in either outcome, but he could save his children, and fight for the republic. That's what Padme' would want. If he could not save her, he would do what she would have wanted._

Anakin had moved as quickly as he could. He had told the council he needed to talk to them immediately as he knew who the sith lord was. Not that there was many jedi on the council that day as most of them had been sent where the war needed them. The only two jedi on the council that was there was Master Yoda and Master Windu. The rest could only attend the meeting through holo projector. Anakin bowed and started talking immediately.

"Masters I have located the sith lord." Anikan said.

"Please do tell." Master Windu said.

"It is Chancellor Palptine." Anakin Said.

"How can you be certain of this?" Windu asked impatiently.

Anakin sighed. Now is time for the big confession, He thought worriedly.

" I have a confession to make masters. After the battle of Genosis I secretly married Senator Amidala. Not to long ago I found out that she is pregnant. I started having nightmares about her dying in child birth. Since marraige is forbidden I knew I could not come to the jedi for help. I asked the Chancellor for advice because I thought he was the only one I could trust. As time went on he kept talking about how you can stop the ones from dying. But the power was only attainable through the dark side. I grew suspicious. Then one day he said he could teach me the power of the dark side so I could save her. He wanted me to join him to over throw the republic. Slaughter the jedi as he sees them to be corrupt." Anakin said as shame was all over his face.

"Know this I do of you and the surprised I am of the rest of the story." Yoda Said.

Mace chimed in. "And what side do you take Skywalker?" How do we know if you will not betray us because of Palpitines lie to save Amidala?"

Anakin hung his down. "I have had visions of both outcomes. Padme' will die no matter what I do. But on the side of the jedi I can save my children, the jedi and the republic. If I can not save her, I will save what she believed in.

18 years later...

"Father!" Leia said in annoyance. I do not need a jedi protector! I will be fine. My place is to stay here, not coward in fear.

Bail had obviously had enough of this conversation. He would not back down this time.

"Leia there has been assassination plot on our family! You are in great danger! I will hear no more of this. Master Skywalker will be here to retrieve you and take you to a safe place. Why cant you be like your brother and accept this." Bail said in an annoyed tone.

"But father I do not want to go with Master Skywalker. I think he hates me." Bails eyebrows shot up. "What makes You say that?" He asked.

"Whenever I'm around him he does not speak to me. He just stares at me. And when I talk he looks at me crazy. Like I'm stupid or something!" Leia said.

"He does not hate you Leia. You just remind him of one of our dear old friend." He said reassuringly.

Luke had wandered in just in time to hear the last bit of the conversation.

"I personally can't wait! He is the hero with no fear! He is the best pilot and jedi in the galaxy! I've got so many things to ask him!" Luke said in a over exited tone.

Leia groaned at her brother. Master Skywalker was his hero. Of course he is excited.

Anakin had just reached the landing pad when he saw the Organas waiting for him. He let out a deep sigh. His children did not know he was their father. He had decided a few hours after there birth that they would be safer if the galaxy did not know they existed. So he sent them to live with the Organas. No one had told them that he was there father. He thought it was for the better. He couldn't handle their sadness that their father was never around. He couldn't even imagine what it would be like if they knew and he died in a war. It was for their best that they knew only the Organas as their parents. Of course they knew they where adopted but they thought that both of their birth parents had died. He came back from his thoughts. He couldn't be upset about this. He knew he had made the right decision. His children grew up happy, with a loving family. He opened the shuddle door and let down the ramp. He slowly walked out and was greeted by the Organas. He shook their hands and was invited inside for dinner. He gladly accepted as he hadn't eaten since he headed to Alderaan. _

Everyone was sat around the table. Bail and Anakin where talking about the assassination attempt and security measures.

" I do not want to go. I want to stay with my people. I don't want them to panic. If you send the royal children away the will fear something worse is about to happen. We are in a war and we are here to get them through this and inspire morale. I just don't see the need for us to leave. Just up the security around us. We will be fine." Leia blurted.

Anakin shook his head. "Just like both her mothers."

He said not thinking about what he just said.

"You knew our birth mother?" Luke asked.

"Yes I did. She was a strong women who fought for what she believed in. She would never leave her people either. I was assigned to protect her like I am to you.

Luke was excited. Maybe finally would tell them who their parents where. He had always wondered. He knew their mother was a politician, but they did not know which one. Thier father was a jedi and broke the rules and married her. They had both died in a attack shortly after they where born. Leia always adored the story of her birth parents. She enjoyed the romanticism. Leia had perked up at the news that he knew her real mother. Maybe it was not such a bad thing that they where going with him. She would pry answer about her mother out of him no matter what.
